What does only the main plate chassis cost for a CR2?

It's like people that leave the protective sheet on their mobile phones and other stuff with displays, ridiculous :-) You don't want it scratched cause then it's not nice anymore, so you rather have it look like crap all the time while using it, I don't get that :-) By the time you want to sell it, it's worthless anyway, with or without scratches.

Same for a chassis!

Yes but does it look nice with an undertray? I think that's ugly as hell. Owned a fireblade and cougar2000 for years, and the undertray is always dirty, bent, scratched etc... You can't see the carbon fibre through it.

you wont need 5 then, you could get away with just having 2 chassis
Or just man up and use one like EVERYONE else does

Two chassis never feel the same let alone 5.........

Crazy fool

Also is it best purchasing LHD or the RHD kit?

Around 2-3 weeks for the SE kit but could be quicker depending when parts arrive. With the SE kit you get the motor-plate & idler kit which means you can use a standard speedo controller as well as the xd front towers all in red cf.

The kits will be available direct from Atomic-Carbon and also MK Racing, marc has already got it listed on the website for pre-order.

The CR2 SE kit does not come with the gearbox brace, but can be ordered as a optional part.
